BACKGROUND 1. Field

The following description relates to an optical imaging system.

2. Description of Background

Mobile communications terminals have been provided with camera modules, enabling video calling and image capturing. In addition, as levels of functionality of cameras in such mobile communications terminals have gradually increased, cameras for use in mobile communications terminals have gradually been required to have higher levels of resolution and performance.

However, since there is a trend for mobile communications terminals to be gradually miniaturized and lightened, there are limitations in realizing camera modules having high resolution and performance.

In order to solve such problems, recent camera lenses have been formed of plastic, a material lighter than glass, and optical imaging systems have been configured of five or six lenses to implement a high level of resolution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. The sequences of operations described herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those set forth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, with the exception of operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also, descriptions of functions and constructions that would be well known to one of ordinary skill in the art may be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.

The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, and are not to be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to one of ordinary skill in the art.

Herein, it is noted that use of the term “may” with respect to an example or embodiment, e.g., as to what an example or embodiment may include or implement, means that at least one example or embodiment exists in which such a feature is included or implemented while all examples and embodiments are not limited thereto.

Throughout the specification, when an element, such as a layer, region, or substrate, is described as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element, it may be directly “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” the other element, or there may be one or more other elements intervening therebetween. In contrast, when an element is described as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element, there can be no other elements intervening therebetween.

As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items.

Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various members, components, regions, layers, or sections, these members, components, regions, layers, or sections are not to be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one member, component, region, layer, or section from another member, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first member, component, region, layer, or section referred to in examples described herein may also be referred to as a second member, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples.

Spatially relative terms such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” and “lower” may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element's relationship to another element as shown in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as being “above” or “upper” relative to another element will then be “below” or “lower” relative to the other element. Thus, the term “above” encompasses both the above and below orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be oriented in other ways (for example, rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for describing various examples only, and is not to be used to limit the disclosure. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “includes,” and “has” specify the presence of stated features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof.

Due to manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, variations of the shapes shown in the drawings may occur. Thus, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes shown in the drawings, but include changes in shape that occur during manufacturing.

The features of the examples described herein may be combined in various ways as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application. Further, although the examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application.

In the drawings, the thicknesses, sizes, and shapes of lenses are somewhat exaggerated for convenience of explanation. In particular, the shapes of spherical surfaces or aspherical surfaces illustrated in the drawings are only illustrative. That is, the shapes of the spherical surfaces or the aspherical surfaces are not limited to those illustrated in the drawings.

Herein, a first lens refers to a lens closest to an object, while an eighth lens refers to a lens closest to an image sensor.

A first surface of each lens refers to a surface thereof closest to an object side (or an object-side surface) and a second surface of each lens refers to a surface thereof closest to an image side (or an image-side surface). Further, all numerical values of radii of curvature and thicknesses or distances of lenses, and the like, are indicated by millimeters (mm), and a field of view (FOV) is indicated by degrees.

Further, in a description for a shape of each of the lenses, the meaning that one surface of a lens is convex is that a paraxial region portion of a corresponding surface is convex, and the meaning that one surface of a lens is concave is that a paraxial region portion of a corresponding surface is concave. Thus, even when it is described that one surface of a lens is convex, an edge portion of the lens may be concave. In a similar manner, even when it is described that one surface of a lens is concave, an edge portion of the lens may be convex.

A paraxial region refers to a very narrow region including an optical axis.

An optical imaging system according to various examples may include eight lenses.

For example, the optical imaging system may include a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens, sequentially arranged from the object side. The first lens to the eighth lens are respectively spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance along the optical axis.

However, the optical imaging system is not limited to only including eight lenses, but may further include other components, when necessary.

For example, the optical imaging system may further include an image sensor converting an image of a subject incident on the image sensor into an electrical signal.

The optical imaging system may further include an infrared filter (hereinafter, ‘filter’) cutting off infrared light. The filter may be disposed between the eighth lens and the image sensor.

The optical imaging system may further include a stop controlling an amount of light.

In the optical imaging system, the first to eighth lenses may be formed of plastic.

At least one of the first to eighth lenses may have an aspherical surface. Further, each of the first to eighth lenses may have at least one aspherical surface.

At least one of first and second surfaces of all of the first to eighth lenses may be aspherical. The aspherical surfaces of the first to eighth lenses may be represented by the following Equation 1:

$\begin{matrix} {Z = {\frac{{cY}^{2}}{1 + \sqrt{1 - {\left( {1 + K} \right)c^{2}Y^{2}}}} + {AY}^{4} + {BY}^{6} + {CY}^{8} + {DY}^{10} + {EY}^{12} + {FY}^{14} + {GY}^{16} + {HY}^{18} + {IY}^{20}}} & {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 1} \end{matrix}$

In Equation 1, c is a curvature (an inverse of a radius of curvature) of a lens, K is a conic constant, and Y is a distance from a certain point on an aspherical surface of the lens to an optical axis. In addition, constants A to I are aspherical coefficients. In addition, Z is a distance from the certain point on the aspherical surface of the lens to a tangential plane meeting the apex of the aspherical surface of the lens.

The optical imaging system including the first to eighth lenses may have positive refractive power/positive refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power sequentially from the object side. Alternatively, the first to eighth lenses may have negative refractive power/positive refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power/positive refractive power/positive refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power. Alternatively, the first to eighth lenses may have positive refractive power/negative refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power/positive refractive power/positive refractive power/negative refractive power/negative refractive power.
